The Hollywood megastar secretly battling HIV, now named as Charlie Sheen, had become a recluse in his own home - smoking crack cocaine and watching his old movies over and over to deal with the devastating diagnosis.

The actor became increasingly isolated from the outside world over the past two years, paying for porn stars to come and party with him at his own home and rarely venturing out, according to a source in the adult industry.



Sheen - who is due to announce his HIV status in a TV interview on the Today program tomorrow - has still been taking drugs regularly and paying male and female porn stars $25,000 to $30,000 a night each to hang out with him at his home, the source claimed.

But the 50-year-old star has been so paranoid that someone would reveal his sordid secrets, he has set up a security command post in his garage where he forces guests to sign non-disclosure agreements and leave their cell phones before they can enter the house.


A top porn director, who knows various 'adult' stars who have visited Sheen's Hollywood mansion, told Daily Mail Online: 'I know he doesn't like to leave his house - he's like a recluse.

'He has a full security team. So when he has girls come over you start out in the garage - that's where the command post is with the security team.

'You have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, you have to leave your cell phones and then you can actually enter the house.


The director and producer, who has been in the porn industry since 1997, said Sheen looks like he is in 'very poor health' but continues to take drugs and have sex with his many porn star guests

'Charlie's been smoking crack since at least 2010,' he said. 'This hasn't slowed down since then - he's still active.

'Within the last six months his health condition is not good. I'm not saying whether that's got anything to do with HIV but I heard he looks like a mess.

'He's skinny, pale, he doesn't get out in the sun - he looks unhealthy. He has bandages on him, he's bleeding and he has band aids all falling off - he just looks like a mess.

'If you smoke enough crack that's what happens.'
